Cherry/walnut desk

This is a desk i built for my parents christmas present to replace the crappy glue and sawdust one haha.36”x20” cherry center biscuited from a single 10” wide board. with a 1”x2” walnut border and walnut legs.everything is a 1/2” round over.General finish water based varnish gloss 7 coats.

Because i work at a cabinet shop i sometimes get to work using works tools so projects this size are much easier. also means I get access to lots of clamps haha.

I purposely left the knothole so that i can run monitor power cords up through it.

and the final product. still working on a keyboard tray pullout for it and some walnut shelves for on top to organize stuff.

also 3 photos of my next project for myself 48”x27” walnut desk I got a bit overzealous when i found a 14” wide board originally. Working on a design for maple legs to hold it up.Its honestly a small kitchen table haha.

You might want to keep an eye on the walnut trim on your table – you may have an issue with the corner joints opening up as the top expands and contracts. It will depend on how much the humidity varies – might not be an issue.

Yah that was a mistake on my part sadly. I kind of built this on the fly without plans. Lesson learned plans are handy. As i was applying the final coat of finish when it hit me just how bad this may or may not be yet haha.Live and learn right.
